The Independent Police Conduct Authority has found the use of force against a man during a bail process in Hastings was not justified.
On 23 January 2020, a man was arrested for reckless driving in Hastings. He was uncooperative and showed signs of recent alcohol intake. He was transported to Hastings Police Station where he continued to be uncooperative.
The Authority had the benefit of viewing CCTV of large portions of the incident and has used the footage to assist with evaluating the officers’ accounts.
The man was agitated during his release from custody and verbally threatening the officers. An officer used force to remove the man from the station saying he believed the man was going to assault either himself or one of his colleagues. The man alleged that the officer choked him, which the officer denies.
CCTV footage obtained by the IPCA showed Mr X appeared quite agitated and was waving his arms around and gesturing to Officer C. Officer C takes a step towards Mr X then places his forehead against Mr X s forehead. Officer C brings his right hand up under Mr X s left armpit as they are standing face to face, then turns Mr X around by putting his left arm around his neck. Officer C then gets behind Mr X, and wraps his right arm around Mr X s neck. Officer C pulls Mr X backwards, steps his right leg back, and rests Mr X s head on his left knee. Officer C raises his right hand and holds it in a fist above Mr X s face for a couple of seconds.
